I am looking to buy a basic sewing machine that will last for a long long time, more than 20 years. I don't do quilting, no embroidery, don't sew much, don't need fancy features. Just need a reliable machine to do some clothes mending, curtains, cushions, etc. The must have features (other than standard straight, zig zag, reverse...) I'm looking for are buttonholes some overlock stitches that prevent cut fabric edges from fraying blind stitch decent sewing with various fabric materials and thickness (chiffon, denim, heavy wool, fleece...)
If money is not a concern, which brands and models do you recommend? If budget minded, then which brands and models do you recommend?
Thanks, Daphne
